I have been working on this deal for what feels like a year but it was actually only a couple weeks. Finally got these in the fold with a few more on Hold for me.

38/44 Prewar Outdoorsman Cylinder ring is the only mar on a near perfect Gun. Serial # 588XX Grips numbered to Gun

Dan, the pre-27 is awesome! Great find.
The pre-war OD looks extremely nice as well, the numbered magnas are a great "plus" for that gun.
The HD has a 6.5" barrel. Nahas and Supica's SCSW 3d.Ed. says, "4-inch and 6.5-inch barrel lengths bring a three to four times premium." I'd say you got a nice value there, even if it's only in shooter grade condition.

Nice acquisitions!
 
The 357 is sweet but you do know the box is aftermarket, right?

The OD is very fine, indeed.

You're right, that's a shooter HD but I like guns with character. As noted the 6.5" barrel is uncommon.
 
Thanks Guys

Yes I knew the box was aftermarket. I was gonna load some 357 ammo into it but they dont fit. 38's will have to do.

It may have seemed like it took a year but that is half the fun!
 
Dan,
Nice trio of guns. I like the HD. Have you lettered it? I would be interested in where it was shipped to. Thanks for posting them.
